Representative Cobb Speaks His Mind to Rep
resentative Holman About His Meanness.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-According to reports
of those present, Representative Cobb took Rep
resentative Holman down several pegs at meet
ing of the Indiana Democratic Club last night
The Journal correspondent is informed that Mr.
Cobb, in the course of his remarks, stated that
ne was opposed to the whole policy of Holman:
that it was unamerican, illiberal and narrow
minded. and should meet the condemnation of
all public-spirited people. Holman's course in
all financial legislation was despicable. He was
the lowest penny the pay of poor people, but
supported heartily all bills appropriating
millions Of money. He grew weak and
trembled before the strong. Mr.. Cobb
not only denounced Holman's course in
the House, but his personal acts. Some time
ago there created divisions of appeals in
the General Land Office, under act of the last ses-
sion of Congress. Mr. Cobb secured the appoint
ment of Samuel D. Luckett of Gordon, to be
chief of the division, which was made ready for
organization weeks ago, but has awaited an ap-
preparation to maintain it. Mr.. Cobb said he
went to Holman some time ago and laid before
him the necessity of providing for this division
in the legislative, executive and judicial appro
priation bill Holman. who is chairman of the
appropriations committee, assured Cobb that he
was in favor of it and would see that the COM
mittee made provision requested. Cobb
stated that Holman had not ouly not recon-
mended the appropriation but had requested the
committee to leave it out of the bill and worked
against it, and it was left out. This, in the
opinion of Cobb, showed the general character
of Holman as it is.

Savage Arraignment of the Government

A Savage Arraignment of the Government
on Its Egyptian Policy.
LONDON, Feb. AIN the House Of Commons,
this afternoon, Mr.. Raikes. Postmaster general,
announced that the present agreement with the
steamship Companies for carrying the American
mails would expire at the end of February.
Mr.. Cremer, Radical, moved an amendment to
the address in reply to the Queens speech, de-
>manding the immediate recall of all the British
forces in Egypt.
Sir. Wilfred Lawson, Radical in seconding
the motion. said 1--WE have raised the funded
debt of Egypt from 600, O00 900 to e10O 600, 900,
slaughtered many thousands of natives, Grip
pied the national chamber, bombarded the prin-
cipal city of the country under circumstances of
the greatest horror, increased taxation, pro-
noted horrible deDauchery in the capital sown
dissensions between the Khedive and the people,
and crushed out the first little sparks of indie
pendence that had been seen in Eastern nations
for ages past"
Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary secretary
to the Foreign Office, condemned this "over-
drawn picture of the English occupation of
Egypt. He said the occupation was initiated at
the instance and under the mandate of Europe,

count of intestine troubles. The government,
he declared, were doing what they could to re-
duce the force in Egypt, and it would shortly be
limited to $4,000 men.
Mr.. Cain argued that Europeans who get the
most out of Egypt, ought to bear the chief bur-
den of taxation. If liquor-shops were allowed
to carry on business they ought to be heavily
taxed. England ought to ask the powers to con-
sent to a proper system Of taxation for ruling
the country. and if they refused she should evac-
uate and leave Egypt to itself Mr.. Cain said,
in conclusion: unless we have free hand we
shall sooner or later find ourselves involved with
the great powers who will insist upon our COM
ing out of Egypt"
Hon.-W. II. Smith defended the governments
policy. He said the evacuation of Egypt by
England would throw that country into state
of anarchy.
Mr.. C-emer's amendment was rejected by a
vote Of 263 to 81. Mr.. Parnell adjourned the
debate.

Prince Henry in Disgrace.

Labouchere's Letter.
Prince Henry of Battenberg has got into sad
disgrace with the Queen. 1t seems that when
he came up to Buckingham Palace the other
day to represent her Majesty at the Iddesleigh
memorial service in Westminster Abbey he took
advantage Of the outing to divert himself by
going to the Drury Lane Theater on the evening
of his arrival in town. Considering the object
of Prince Henrys excursion it would certainly
have been more becoming had he passed the
evening at home. He to have returned to
Osborne after the service but the fog on the
Solent was so dense that telegram was sent
from Portsmouth to inform him that it would be
impossible for the Albert to cross to Cowes So
he remained at Buckingham Palace till the next
morning. and in the evening repeated the pre-
vious indiscretion by going to the circus. The
Queen was exceedingly wroth and Prince Henry
is not likely to be sent again anywhere to rep
resent her.
